The lines, colors, textures, patterns and light. The summit views are awesome this time of year, for sure, but there's something about being down in the thick of the changing wooded world that makes my heart swoon.

 

And there's this too... Palette of my inner skies.

 

October 15:

On my walk in the woods yesterday I found so much beauty... And this little journal. It only has a few dozen entries... Some sketches, a margarita recipe, affirmations on love and expansion (I'm in Asheville, after all). It was also lost and found before. The second owner noted this. But the part that made me pause was the longest entry - about a dream the journaler had. It started out with how he met a girl named Hali by the ocean....

 

That's it for this week.

Finally doing things in ways other than how they say you 'should' today - after a slow start and long week - because i remembered that my timing, rhythm, values and ways of seeing and engaging are not like this world's for a reason. #workingartist #keepitreal #artmatters #trustyourprocess . . . #creativelife #artjournal #creativeentrepreneur #visualjournal #ibelieve #artheals #prayerart #intuitiveart #trusttheprocess #knowyourself #artpages #artistlife #findyourway #offeritup #betrue #keepitsimple #notofthisworld #creativeenergy #staythecourse #morewaysthanone #creativeprocess

This. Like a funny little sigh of (((yes))) to my heart and current perspective, with a poke at this wacked out culture of trend and meme and superficial hype-building, I can't help but love this image from @rachaelrice . For the last couple of years I've been guiding a program to help others demystify the symbolic language of astrology through learning about their own birthchart... we dive deep, and it has been so good in so many ways... but this. This touches - lightly - on what I keep coming back to regardless of the details and tools and paths I explore, and why my current call is to pause another rich program I poured my heart into, to make room for the next iteration in- process of living more fully into our collective connection, remembering and becoming. The most important things, I find, are not unnecessarily simplified, yet are deeply simple. . . . #everythingisconnected #loveeachother #starsandart #creativeprocess #creativelife #creativeenergy #funnybuttrue #keepitsimple #paradox #collectiveconsciousness #humanfamily #beinghuman

every day as i do the dishes, by hand, she stands there in front of me - this odd thrift-store figure of Hildegard of Bingen. holding the plant she cares for. life-cycle. nature. medicine. harp resting nearby. ready for voice, presence and praise. i imagine her paintbrush - or a rock for crushed pigment - resting in some unseen pocket or sleeve. creative visions waiting to come to life. and her simple veil, the strength of ritual worn daily. inward prayer, outward faith. Viriditas. wordlessly, she reminds within ordinary moments (on repeat) what has always been evident, guiding, steady and true on these waves of my life: art, healing, and faith. . . . #creativelife #hildegard #allsaintsday #samhain #viriditas #dailypractice #artheals #faithhopelove #ritual #everythingisconnected #creationcare #ordinarymagic #lifeissacred #creativespirit #ancestors #creativevision #practiceinpresence #livingprayer #devotion #contemplation #innerpeace #kitchentalk #simplelife #knowyourself #holisticlife

I can spend a great deal of time shuffling colorful ideas around in the studio, like these random papers. What am I seeking? A resonance? Harmony? A curious interest of combinations seen in a new way? Something symbolic or implied? A voice for my self and/or something bigger that I sense, am exploring in my liminal landscape? A procrastination technique? All of the above? Lol ... probably. It is a strange place to be, between ideas and commitments made tangible. Between knowing the feeling but having no words, and how promising and frustrating that can be, especially when the heart is tender and our hands and feet feel shaky with some way of seeing that is new to us. Not knowing how the way of the past will dissolve or merge with the new way that must come again, the way that is truly already here. Is a vital Creative Process ever anything but a part of our own transformation? . . . #creativeprocess #inthestudio #artideas #paperart #creativepractice #transformation #painting #abstractart #randomart #contemplativeart #contemporaryartist #meditationart #practiceinpresence #soulart #becreative #artislife #lifeisart #artheals #intuitiveart #dreamscape #nowordstodescribe #visualjournal #artmaking
